Description

Today I tested positive for Covid-19. At the moment, I feel physically well. I will not comment on my emotional stability, however. I have been in virtual lockdown since 2/15/20 and am perplexed how I contacted this dreaded virus. I was scheduled to receive the vaccine tomorrow. Obviously. this scenario changed immediately. Questions emerge, however. Am I frightened? Yes, I suppose I must admit that. Am I angry? Yes, I cannot disguise the degree of hostility I feel towards others who have unmasked and not observed social distancing in the past few weeks. Yet, can I accurately say, they were the culprits carrying these virulent germs? No, I cannot do that honestly. Am I apologetic for my unbridled resentment towards those I believe responsible for the contagion? That may come in time, but at the moment I am not that generous in my escalating opinions. Has this development changed my belief that "This too shall pass? Not for a minute, but let me say, I am not quite so confident I will be there. Has this development changed my faith? No, no, It has merely redoubled my belief in the words sung by Leonard Cohen, "IF IT BE YOUR WILL." I would merely add as well as "Thy Will be done." And so it shall be. Maybe to be continued.............
